MRS. phelps DINNER.

At last the state department can point to
a splendid achievement OF American diplo-
macy in triumphant reputation of the allie
CATION that the diplomatic service of this
country. save for ornament, does not
amount to a row of pins. Ministers have
come and ministers have gone. and never
has the mission of any one of them been
noted to the proud extent attained by that
of Minister PHELPS, the present represen-
tative of this country at the court of st.
James. Other ministers have negotiated
notable treaties, and the beauty and grace
of their wives has compelled the admiration
of monarchs, but it remained for the wife
OF Minister PHELPS to obtain fame in one
bound. She gave dinner that was the
most wonderful thing of its kind
that London society had ever seen,
and the battle was won. She
was at once placed at the head of all the
wives of ministers who had ever graced
England with their presence and the opin-
ion was unanimous that the present minis
ter is distinguished success. The event
proves what has long been suspected, that
the nearest way to an Englishman's heart
is through his stomach, and Mrs. PHELPS
ability in dinner giving will doubtless
be of decided assistance to her husband
should he ever have delicate negotiation
to conduct with the English government.

A BUREAJT OF MENDINC

There has been inaugurated in New York
recently curious industry which, to use a
somewhat threadbare phrase, seems to meet
long-felt want. 1t is mending bureau,
which for a small compensation agrees to
mend the rents and take the proverbial
stitch in time in the garments of bachelors
who are without the cares and comforts Of
home. There are in the metropolis thou
sands of young men who will doubtless
avail themselves of the opportunity to pre-
serve their wardrobes offered by the bu-
reau. and the promoters of the industry will,
of course, reap golden reward for their
ingenuity. But the bachelors who will
prove the bureaus chief patrons are apt to
bring about its downfall through the very
satisfaction to which its work will give rise.
At least if they are wise that will be the
result. 1t is all very well for the bachelors
to patrOniZe the mending bureau so long as
there is the necessity for it. but it rests
with each one whether that necessity will
continue. Each can establish little mend
ing bureau of his own that will be superior
to the existing one in every respect whose
results will be far more satisfactory and
whose organization will bring happiness to
at least two people. And the only way he
can do it is by matrimony.

HONDURANIAN EXECUTION.
Remarkable Goodness of the Four
Victims.

Exchange.
Early in the morning, as the mists were
just rising from the dense vegetation about
the town and the sun appeared above the
tree tops, small body of soldiers marched
through the wet grass to the dull tapping of
drum. A few people followed at a re-
spectfu distance. They turned out in the
direction of the old church, La Carload,
the angeluS from whose bells had sounded.
Marching past its portals, a halt was made
in one of the angles where the late addi-
ton joined the ancient portion. A little
apart from the soldiers stood four officers,
the victims of this beautiful morning. Four
collins were placed near the WALL and the
four condemned men led to them. They
took their funeral seats as if they were III
the boxes of an opera. Not a face was
blanched, not nerve quivered.
AS they sat there, Gen. Delgado noticed
that his nearest companion moved little
| restlessly OH his coffin lid.
Are you afraid, comrade?" said he.
The young man smiled at the question
and answered with prompt No"
This" said the general. I'VE all have to
go through. Some soon. some late. but it
comes to ALL"
And he gave smile of encouragement to
| his condemned fellows.
The soldiers were loading their rifles. and
the sunlight glistened on the polished bar
relS The general called in low voice to
the officer in charge of the men and asked
| if he would permit the firing squad to ad
vance five PAGES nearer. This would bring
| them to within few feet, and there would
be no missing. He asked, also, not to be
blindfolded and to have the privilege of
giving the word. The officer assented and
the n,en came slowly forward.
The condemned were then asked if they
had any thing to say. Gen. Delgado, with
wonderful GOODNESS and great dignity and
grace, made brief speech. but it could
not be heard by the spectators beyond the
soldiers. The air was filled with the per-
fume OF the flowers just opened by the
morning sun. A whistle of a paroquet
and the ''caw" of some brilliantly plum
aged bird were the only benedictions they
heard. The general then addressed the
swarthy firing squad:
Il will ask you gentlemen, not to hit me
in the face, but here and his right hand
pointed with quick gesture to spot over
his heart. Then in clear tones he spoke
the words Are you ready?"
The rifles were pointed directly at the
| four men. Each could look into the muz.
Zles of the instruments of death. No eye
was bandaged, no arm was tied. Over
each barrel the black eye of Honduranian
soldier looked along its shining surface and
into the eyes of the cool, calm officers
seated by the wall. When they heard the
question murmur announced that they
were ready. Then came from the firm lips
Of Delgado, ''Fire!''
There was no rattle, no scattering shots,
but one sharp, singing report, and the four
men, for half second remaining III an
upright position, as if still unhurt. rolled
over, limp and bloody-dead. The men
had been true to their promise. for three
bullets had penetrated Delgados heart.

THE RUINED CASTLE.

The ice palace is rapidly disappearing.
The magnificent structure, whose solid
masonry resisted the assaults of Ice King
and Fire Monarch, is crumbling beneath the
gentler blows of the youthful spring. The
high towers, nodding arches, strong walls
and stately bastions are in ruins. And YET
it looks more lovely in its ruins than it did
in the splendor of its perfection. 1t is with
a feeling of regret that we witness the melt
ing away of this Respondent specimen of
architecture. There are many pleasant
memories associated with it-recollections
of the carnival season. Gala days they
were when fun held high carnival. when
the streets wore holiday decorations, and
at night with their brilliant Examinations
presented a scene of fairyland. Those
were pleasant times in st. Paul when the
white bear standard floated above the ice
palace. The flag has long ago been furled.
the tens of thousands of strangers who
came to see the magnificent structure have
long ago returned home, but the castle re-
manned in all its magnificent beauty until
the breath of the approaching summer
touched it. Now it is going too. and before
many more days little rivulet trickling
down through Central park will be all that
is left of the great ice palace. There is one
consolation in the ruin of our ice palace. 1t
will not be deSecrated by relic hunters.

A 3Iislk aud a Terrier.
Boouville Locomotive.


A four-round fight between Louis Me-
gede's blooded terrier and a mink belonging
to Ben Keel amused large crowd on the
south side of the square Sunday morning.
Ben had caught the varmint in a steel trap
on Saturday night, after he had throttled
thirteen chickens, and had brought him
over to Megede's to get cage in which to
keep him. a cage was procured. but Mr..
Mink declined to remain a captive behind
its frail bars. and, wrenching them apart
with his powerful jaws. sought safety in
flight. Just then the terrier took hand in
the fun, and grabbing the retreating mink in
the back, shook him viciously few times;
but the mink was not idle while the shak-
ing was going on and had got firm hold
on the dogs nose, and it took his dogship
some little time to shake him loose. The
first round was draw. When time was
called the terrier advanced cautiously.
while the mink kept one eye on his advel-
sary and the other on the crowd, swapping
viciously right aud left. The second round
ended in a victory for the terrier The
third round was draw. In the fourth
round the contestants came to the scratch
in good order, the mink a little tired and
the terrier with blood in his eyes. The ter
rier was soon master of the situation, and
placed the mink out of misery by killing it.
But he was game to the last, and died with
Squeal of defiance.

LET US SING.

Everybody ought to sing. If they don't
know how they ought to learn right away.
If they can't learn they ought to keep on
trying. This is purely dsinterested ad-
vice, for if left to follow the bent of our own
selfish disposition our verdict would be that
three-fOurths OF the people who attempt to
sing ought to be throttled. This feeling is
not engendered alone by the frequent occa-
sions we have of hearing that discordant
ianglng of high notes and unintelligible
sounds popularity known as opera singing,
out is aggravated by the fact that the Cos
pei Army rooms are located just across the
street from our sanctum. So that if we
were discussing the subject of singing from
a purely selfish standpoint we would proba-
bly, advocate law which would eXpatriate
everybody who attempted to sing. But we
are not. We rise above self and look to the
welfare of the human race. That
is why we say everybody ought
to sing. The eminent DR.. Rush
has made the discovery that the Ger
man people are largely indebted for
their exemption from pulmonary diseases
to the strength and volume which their
lungs acquire in the practice of vocal music.
The practice of singing is wellnigh uni
versal among the German people, extend
ing from childhood to old age. DR.. Rush
declares his conviction that the education of
the voice and the practice of singing, in
volying as it does the proper exercise of the
organs of the throat and the lungs, should
form part OF our physical education. Con-
sumption is becoming the scourge of the
human race, and if singing will stop its
ravageS then let us lose no time in putting
our voices in practice. Every neighborhood
should have singing school.
